The pretty, rural hamlet of Barras sits on a high promontory close to Kirkby Stephen and the Eden Valley - a truly stunning and secluded area. A sleepy backwater, it is surrounded by traditional farm meadows and picturesque pastures and fells.

Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings. So peaceful, all in all a very relaxing break.
Miss Swainson, Durham, February 2012
A gorgeous little cottage - perfect for a couple and with all the things you would need for a short break away. Amazing views from the living room doors and patio area. The wine and biscuits on arrival were a really nice touch, and there's lots to do around the local towns. The wood-burner was a treat too.
Miss West, Cottingham, October 2011
Having the wood burning stove was a real luxury on chilly evenings. A beautifully decorated little cottage which we would be happy to recommend, along with Sykes Cottages.
Miss Goble, Reading, September 2011
The cottage was lovely and quiet, which is what we wanted. There are plenty of places of interest to visit. The scenery is beautiful.
